Robert Melendez - PeerSpot reviewer
Enhances email security and has a very simple and easy-to-use UI
Spam protection is the most valuable feature. We have implemented the tool to enhance our email security. It helps prevent phishing attacks. The anomaly detection capabilities are baked into the security platform. The product integrates wonderfully with Microsoft 365. It's built right on a cloud platform and works almost natively. The solution has a very simple and easy-to-use UI. The tool appears extremely powerful and has a good solid feature set. It catches things that are bad for my environment. The user interface is good the way it is. If the solution continues down that path, I see no problems with the way it is going. It feels like a mature product.

Automating compliance processes with effective data classification
One limitation of Securiti is that it can only classify about 30% to 40% of my data. For the remaining data, even if it is PII, it may not be classified correctly. This could be due to incorrect or missing data in the dataset. Therefore, I still need to do some manual review to complete the exercise. Additionally, it would be beneficial if Securiti had a feature similar to data mesh, allowing users to directly access remote data through the Securiti UI. This would reduce the need for other tools like Snowflake.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

"The most valuable feature of Avanan is its Anti-Malware solution for Office 365, and box.com."
"Email encryption enhances end to end security of any data before it passes through the networking system."
"Easy to use for non-technical users."
"The ease of installation and the AI capacity of the product are valuable."
"Overall, I would rate Securiti a nine out of ten."

"Data discovery is a fantastic product."
"Technical support for Securiti is good."
"Their data discovery is a fantastic product."
"It's very scalable. I would rate it ten out of ten for scalability."
"The drag-and-drop features make Securiti easy to use, even for individuals who are not tech-savvy."
 

Cons

"The system could be designed to give corporate emails first priority due to demands."
"In Avanan, the email channel is one of the channels where data leakage happens, and they need to consider it from a DLP perspective."
"They should come up with a mobile application so that it can be more flexible."
"Familiarization with performance for new teams may take a long time."
"It is very difficult to find the required documentation."
"Avanan doesn't cover certain tool segments."
"The user experience must be improved."
"Sometimes it seemed like the allow list wasn't working. I've created many allow list rules however, they still seem to be blocked; the same is true with the blocked list rules."
"The scalability of Securiti is not high because we have to customize the solution. It is very complicated to scale, so it needs improvement."
"One limitation of Securiti is that it can only classify about 30% to 40% of my data."
"It's not very fast, and it's difficult to get an answer."
"Technical support needs enhancement. It would be helpful to have better documentation and more accessible support, especially when raising support tickets."
"Technical support can be hit or miss. Some technical staff are great, but others are not very effective. On average, I would rate the technical support four out of ten."
"Fraud prevention could be improved. If a criminal accesses my system and obtains my information, they might commit fraud."
"While the software is functionally robust and intuitive, there is a challenging learning curve."
"I would like their workflows and assessment automation to be more advanced compared to their competitors, especially under the pro core privacy module."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Avanan’s price is comparable to Barracuda."
"Good pricing arrangement as an SaaS offering."
"The pricing of Avanan is reasonable."
"The product is not the cheapest in the market."
"Having the flexibility and modeling to do the pricing that best fits the needs of the organization is incredibly ideal. That is what Avanan does. They know exactly how many users are using it, etc. We can tune the invoicing associated with how we are using the product so we can charge it back to the shows appropriately."
